A university and the Swaying Wind Sword Technique

It took about ten days for Chen Feng and his two companions to return to Heaven Dou City.

The reason it took so long was mainly because Flying Lightning Rat had complained to Chen Feng that the Star Dou Great Forest was too boring and wanted Chen Feng to summon it more often to see the outside world.

However, Chen Feng's Cycle of Rebirth is an independent area, making it impossible for the Flying Lightning Rat to come into contact with the outside world after the Spirit Summoning. It wasn't until this time that the Flying Lightning Rat was brought out of the Star Dou Great Forest that its wish was finally fulfilled.

So the three of them walked very slowly along the way, visiting every city they passed through. Although A Fei couldn't openly show himself, he could still observe the outside world from inside the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, so he could be considered to have seen the world.

After returning to Heaven Dou City, Chen Feng asked Tang San and Xiao Wu to take A Fei back to the Academy first. Then he went to find Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin and told them that there might be members of the Chen Clan members living in Crimson Sand City.

"Crimson Sand City? Are you sure?" Chen Xin asked, looking surprised.

"It can't be completely certain, but it's a possibility," Chen Feng said.

As for the source of this information, Chen Feng did not elaborate, nor did Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin inquire further.

Because they believed that Chen Feng wouldn't talk nonsense about such things.

"Uncle Jian, if there's even the slightest possibility, we should send someone over to check it out," Ning Fengzhi said.

Chen Xin nodded. "We should send people over, but not too many. If they want to remain anonymous, making a big fuss would be counterproductive. Feng Zhi, you know that Xiao Feng's Martial Soul has some issues with their martial soul. If the Spirit Hall finds out, there's no guarantee that there won't be trouble."

"That's true. Then I'll send one or two reliable people over to investigate slowly. This matter can't be rushed," Ning Fengzhi said after thinking for a moment.

Chen Xin considered it for a moment and agreed, but then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Speaking of Crimson Sand City, Feng Zhi, does anything come to mind?"

"Uncle Jian, are you referring to... that great battle back then?"

"Yes, the place where our Ancestors Chen Yang fell is in the Death Desert, and Xiao Feng is now saying that there are Chen Clan members living in Crimson Sand City on the edge of the Death Desert, which makes me think of something," Chen Xin nodded and said.

"Could it be that they did this to make it easier to mourn Senior Chen Yang?" Ning Fengzhi guessed.

Chen Xin nodded, "That's possible. I can take some time to go and check it out later; maybe I'll find some clues."

"After that Ning Clan elder left with the child, did no one think to go and see that place?" Chen Feng asked.

Chen Xin shook his head. "My great-grandfather went out to search several times back then, so he must have been to that place, but he probably couldn't find it."

"I hope we can achieve something this time," Chen Feng said.

Ning Fengzhi asked, "Speaking of which, Xiao Feng, what are your plans for the future?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment and briefly explained his idea of building a new campus. Ning Fengzhi asked doubtfully, "Isn't the current Academy good enough? Heaven Dou City is the capital of the empire; the Academy has many advantages here."

"There are no large Soul Beast Gathering Place around Heaven Dou City, which is not conducive to future work. Moreover, although Heaven Dou City is prosperous, the Academy is limited by its location here. Therefore, building a new campus is imperative," Chen Feng said, shaking his head.

Ning Fengzhi him a deep look and understood the meaning behind his words.

The so-called "limitations" refer to the limitations of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Academy is located in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, so it naturally carries a strong Heaven Dou Empire background.

Clearly, Chen Feng's new campus plan will no longer be limited to a single country, but will focus on the entire continent.

This is something that most people couldn't do, but with Chen Feng's current Prestige and the foundation of the Hydra Academy, it's not impossible for him to establish a continent-level Academy.

"So, what's the difference between the new campus and a regular Soul Master Academy?" Chen Xin asked curiously.

"If there's any difference, it will be a university, not some Soul Master Academy," Chen Feng said.

"University?" Chen Xin was taken aback; this was the first time he had ever heard of this term.

"That's right, it's the university. The Way of the University in manifesting one's bright virtue, in loving the people, and in abiding in the highest good. Its role will be to promote noble morality and thought, guide people to accept this thought and thus do good, until the whole society is changed."

"Besides its intellectual content, it also bears the responsibility of further researching the theories of Martial Soul and Soul Power. The current Soul Master ' use of Soul Power is too superficial. Soul Power should be a good tool for us to deeply understand this world, but Soul Master only use it as a weapon."

"If we compare Martial Soul and Soul Power to stones, then today's Soul Master are like gorillas who only know how to throw stones at people. They haven't even considered making stone tools like stone axes, spears, and pickaxes. In other words, they haven't reached the stage of human beings," Chen Feng said eloquently.

The attitude of the people of the Douluo Continent towards technology is very problematic. Even after ten thousand years, when the Sun Moon Continent used Soul Guidance Technology to open the door to it, there are still many Soul Master who are old-fashioned and maintain a resistant attitude towards Soul Guidance Technology.

Shrek Academy had a particularly serious problem in this regard, so Chen Feng took the initiative to promote the research of Soul Guidance Technology.

A wise person is not born different, but is good at making use of things. Even immortals in the world of cultivation would not leave useful magical treasures unused.

Faced with this situation, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, who had been inexplicably expelled from the human race, were speechless for a moment.

"Of course, I didn't mean anything by it against Uncle Ning and Master." Chen Feng sensed the subtle tension in the atmosphere and quickly added a remark.

"I understand, I understand..." Ning Fengzhi lightly to ease the awkwardness, then asked, "So, where do you plan to start?"

"First and foremost, we need to build the new campus. We'll need your help, Uncle Ning, to get the people from the Earth Division (the Defense Clan) to do this. I'll start researching Soul Power Circuit and make something useful as soon as possible. The wages will come from that. I already have some initial ideas."

"Xiao Feng, if it's just building Academy, this amount of money isn't really necessary..."

"Uncle Ning, we need to settle this score. Also, I plan to gradually repay you for the money you gave me before."

Ning Fengzhi frowned. "Xiao Feng, are you treating me like an outsider?"

"Uncle Ning, I just..."

"You don't need to say anything more. I promise you I'll settle the accounts for building the Academy. Strictly speaking, that's official business, and official business should indeed be handled officially. But the money I gave you before was pocket money from an elder to a younger person. If you want to repay that money, then you can stop acknowledging me as your elder from now on." Ning Fengzhi's tone became more stern.

Chen Xin also shook her head slightly at Chen Feng, clearly not supporting Chen Feng's actions.

"Well... alright, thank you then, Uncle Ning." Chen Feng didn't insist any further.

Ning Fengzhi's expression softened somewhat, and he said earnestly, "Xiao Feng, I know you want to maintain the Academy's autonomy like Dean Flanders, which is the right thing to do. But how could I possibly try to hinder you just because of the money to build an Academy? You are the most outstanding junior of the Ning and Chen families, and I trust your judgment in important matters. Although I'm not entirely clear on what you're planning to do, your caution tells me that what you're doing will definitely cause a lot of trouble. But no matter what, I will support you, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will always be your backing."

Chen Feng was somewhat touched and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Ning, aren't you afraid I'll lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into a pit?"

Ning Fengzhi chuckled, "Xiao Feng, you're already engaged to Rongrong. The future leader of the sect will either be you or your offspring with Rongrong. Even if you drag the sect into a mess, it won't be me who gets dragged down."

Chen Feng:...

That makes perfect sense; he was speechless.

To be honest, he had been worried that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would become an obstacle for him before this, because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the Upper Three Sects and is a typical noble family of Soul Master. If Chen Feng wanted to break the drawbacks of the Martial Soul Bloodline Inheritance, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was an obstacle he could not get around.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul itself has flaws, which might make Ning Fengzhi support this matter, it's ultimately hard to say.

Therefore, Chen Feng had been considering how to deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School.

Using the business of the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch) to offer discounts was one of his ideas, but that would have to wait until the technology was successfully researched. Before that, Chen Feng felt he had no leverage to get the sect to support him.

It's already a blessing if they don't oppose or betray you.

However, it now seems that the problem is simpler than he thought, and Old Ning has a rather open-minded attitude.

"Uncle Ning, you're still young, why are you already thinking about becoming the future sect leader?" Chen Feng asked.

"What's wrong with thinking about this? It'll only be a few years before you all grow up. Then I'll hand over the sect to you, and I can finally take a break. Isn't that great? The future ultimately belongs to you young people," Ning Fengzhi said nonchalantly.

"But we're too young. How can teenagers be in charge?" Chen Feng gave a wry smile.

Ning Fengzhi pointed at him, "Aren't you one yourself? Flender dared to entrust his Academy to you, so why wouldn't I dare to entrust my sect to you?"

"How can Academy compare to a sect? The scale is far smaller. And as you said, I already have Academy to worry about. If I were to take on a sect as well, I would be overwhelmed. You should continue to take on the sect's responsibilities," Chen Feng said, shaking his head.

"Then you can leave it to Rongrong, since you're all family anyway," Ning Fengzhi, waving his hand.

As the saying goes, once you give up and the thought of giving up arises, you suddenly feel like the world has become a vast expanse.

If the younger generation were disappointing, that would be one thing, but Chen Feng has clearly surpassed his peers by several levels. As long as the elders are not jealous of his talent, they will definitely feel that having such a junior is a blessing for the family.

Ning Fengzhi was clearly a magnanimous person. Seeing that Flender had handed over the Academy, he immediately had a similar thought in his mind.

Forget about calculating anything, just do whatever you want.

"Then you'll have to talk to Rongrong yourself. Hopefully, she'll have the interest and patience for this," Chen Feng said.

He was indeed quite busy. In terms of research, almost no one in the world could help him. He also had to take care of the Academy's affairs. Cultivation certainly couldn't be neglected either, as martial power was the foundation of change.

Chen Feng isn't Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor known for his ruthlessness; he can't shoulder everything alone. He needs someone to share the burden.

"Okay, I'll discuss this with Rongrong later. It's time for her to take responsibility." Ning Fengzhi said, deeply agreeing.

At this moment, Chen Xin asked, "Xiao Feng, you should have some free time later, right?"

"I can find the time if I really need it. What's wrong, Master?"

"It's like this. As I told you before, each generation of Seven Kill Sword Masters comprehends their swordsmanship through their own Martial Soul. Therefore, each generation's Seven Kill Sword Technique is different. We don't interfere too much with the swordsmanship training of our descendants. We only pass on our swordsmanship after they have initially grasped the path, so as to achieve a similar effect. In this Spirit Master Tournament, I discovered that your Sword Intent has begun to take shape, so I wanted to ask if you have time to learn my Swaying Wind Sword Technique."

"Yes, absolutely!" Chen Feng quickly replied.

His Tai Chi Swordplay was made possible by several factors. First, he came up with the idea of Art of Light and Heavy Sword after obtaining his First Spirit Ring, with the help of his Grandmaster. Second, he had an epiphany during the Shrek Academy assessment. Third, he gained a powerful physique from the Cell Activation Method Derivative Spirit Skill Third Soul Ring. These factors combined to give birth to the Tai Chi Swordplay.

However, Chen Feng had no idea what path to take next, after all, he wasn't some martial arts genius with extraordinary comprehension.

The Swaying Wind Sword Technique could serve as a guide for him.

"In that case, I will stay at your Academy for a while until you understand the essence of the Swaying Wind Sword Technique," Chen Xin said with a smile.

After Chen Feng left, Ning Fengzhi said with some concern, "Uncle Jian, isn't it a bit too early to teach swordsmanship now? I remember you said that you were only taught swordsmanship by Senior Chen Jianjun after you advanced to Soul Douluo."

Chen Xin gave a helpless laugh. "How can I compare to Xiao Feng? The reason I was only taught swordsmanship at that time was because I only then understood my own path. But what about Xiao Feng? I saw it clearly during the competition; his swordsmanship was already taking shape. All that's left is to hone it through gradual refinement. It's really... just thinking about it makes me feel frustrated."

"Xiao Feng's cultivation has only reached the Soul Ancestor... Uncle Jian, has the Chen Clan ever had such a person in their history?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"There's one that's similar."

"Who?"

"Senior Chen Yang."

Ning Fengzhi was speechless for a moment.

This name is a wound for both the Ning and Chen families. When Chen Xin told Chen Feng stories before, he only mentioned that Chen Yang had become a demon and killed many people from various sects, but he didn't go into detail about how most of these people were surnamed Ning.

The reason is actually quite simple: support-type Soul Master are easier to kill.

If it weren't for Chen Xin's great-grandfather's decisive action in personally ending his son's demonic possession, the Ning and Chen families might have been on the verge of splitting apart.

"Uncle Jian, is Xiao Feng's Martial Soul really okay?" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but ask.

"His Fourth Soul Skill came from the Snow Empress's help. If that doesn't work either, then I can only..."

Chen Xin didn't finish her sentence, but Ning Fengzhi already understood what she meant.
